For this DF, go on the virtual tour of the tomb of Nebamun on the museum’s website (middle of the page): http://britishmuseum.org/visiting/galleries/ancient_egypt/room_61_tomb-chapel_nebamun/nebamun_animation.aspx (Links to an external site.)
After you have explored all the rooms, and looked at all of the images of wall painting fragments, select one of the images/scenes to discuss.
First, identify the image or scene that you have selected and then comment on things you notice…such as:
What is going on? How are things such as movement and space handled (if at all)? What characteristics common to Egyptian art do you notice? Do you notice any similarities to Mesopotamian art – or another culture?
